Re: AppleCare Hell; Follow-Up, Part C – “Fireworks Bursting on the Horizon!” - 18 years ago

What am I missing here? CUSA sells you an open box Mac. AppleCare takes your money. CUSA promises a three year warranty. Turns out AppleCare will only cover machine for two years. CUSA owes you another year of warranty coverage and will do so, but only in house (at CUSA). ----- You are mad at CUSA becasue the can't (or won't) get AppleCare to make good on this. AppleCare h

Re: AppleCare Hell; Follow-Up, Part C – “Fireworks Bursting on the Horizon!” - 18 years ago

Where did the 5 previous AppleCare incidents on this machine come from if not P.M. (which is what the AppleCare guy told you). Either two P.M.'s are involved in this story or AppleCare guy made stuff up?

Re: ATTN DENVER AREA CHATTERS!!!!!: We're getting a frys Electronics. - 18 years ago

Cool there will be a Fry's in Denver. Sucks that it is on the other side of town. I live real close to the former Incredible Universe that Fry's bought most of (Sears got this one). In-N-Out rules. There is a knock off in Parker called Burgers-N-Sports. I want a Portillo's here. They just opened one in LA, had to skip over Denver.

Re: SanDisk CES announcements? - 18 years ago

I am cheap and would have bought the Sandisk units $60 for 512M before Christmas (I missed the cheaper Black Friday units). Throw in a couple of 1GB SD cards for cheap and still well under $200. Still thinking about getting one for puttering around the garage and yard because I don't want to take the iPod video out and get it smashed, dirty, banged up.

Re: 2 Free RAM modules (G3 iMac and mystery one) - 18 years ago

I would like the iMac 128MB RAM (PC100). The kids G3 400 DV SE still has a stick of 64MB in it (the other slot does have a 256 I bought). The SO DIMM is for a laptop or didn't the lamp style iMacs use those? Post a picture or some ID numbers and somebody can ID it. ADent1@aol.com

Re: Looking for a good LASER all-in-one device... - 18 years ago

I personaly would get a decent laser printer and the cheapest flat bed all in one (most likely inkjet). The Brother I have (MFC3800CN) was a huge bargain, but print quality is so-so. Scan and Fax seem fine. Love the auto doc feeder. The drivers are kept up to date. Can scan over the network. No functions (scan/print/fax/etc) work if it is out of ink (though I can still scan over the network -

Re: Colorado 970 area code - 18 years ago

Well 303/720 was not always this way. They raised our bill $0.25/month a few years back to make all of 303 a local call (before 720 was overlayed onto 303).

Re: What's involved in switching hosting companies? - 18 years ago

If your web address is owned by you and registered by someone else (I use godaddy), it is easy to move. Sign up for new hosting. Set up the site like you want. Go to your registrar and point to the new host. It will take a little bit to propogate thru all the DNS servers. If they are registrar and host, good luck. You need to get the registration moved to someone you can work with.

Re: Dual Monitor Help - 18 years ago

The ATI Radeon PCI (Mac) does not support two monitors simultaneously, though it does have a full size VGA and DVI connectors. The ATI Radeon 7200 PCI (flahsed from PC) does support two monitors simultaneously with its full size VGA and DVI connectors. Did it in my S900 (think PM8500 w/6 slots).

Re: How much RAM for iMac DV 400 SE to run OS X - 18 years ago

Memory for that machine is not particularly cheap (though I got a good price on 256MB mail order). Think about a mini before sinking too much money into it.

Re: Which mac Minis have modems? - 18 years ago

Modems are now optional. This became so on the MkIa models (which don't really differ from the MkI models, except on the bundles). My wife has the $599 w/Bluetooth & Airport X and no modem.

Re: Armband for iPod w/ video? - 18 years ago

I am looking at Sportsuit™ Convertible for iPod video. Doesn't say 30 or 60GB, but ilounge has the Basic as a one size fits all - stretch to fit. It is listed on the Apple site, but again no size.
